NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the ALP subfamily of PDZ-LIM domain proteins. The encoded protein suppresses anchorage-dependent growth and promotes cell migration and adhesion through interactions with the actin cytoskeleton via the PDZ domain. The encoded protein is also a putative tumor suppressor protein, and decreased expression of this gene is associated with several malignancies including breast cancer and adult T-cell leukemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
Uniprot Description
PDLIM2: Probable adapter protein located at the actin cytoskeleton that promotes cell attachment. Necessary for the migratory capacity of epithelial cells. Overexpression enhances cell adhesion to collagen and fibronectin and suppresses anchorage independent growth. May contribute to tumor cell migratory capacity. Interacts with alpha-actinins ACTN1 and ACTN4, FLNA and MYH9. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Cell adhesion; Ubiquitin ligase
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 8p21.3
Cellular Component: cortical actin cytoskeleton; focal adhesion; stress fiber; nucleus; actin cytoskeleton
Molecular Function: zinc ion binding; filamin binding; muscle alpha-actinin binding; myosin heavy chain binding
